Botting kills your engagement. Same with engage-for-reward posts. It’s tempting, like drugs, but avoid it: 1. Low engagement tempts you to use botting or reward campaigns. 2. The algo shows the next post to previous bot/reward engagers. 3. If they engage, it reaches a wider audience. 4. Bots/reward seekers ignore organic content, and X algo won't spread your post to wider audience 5. Desperate, you resort to bots/promos again. 6. Death loop.
